Advanced Stem Technologies for Innovative Cures and MS Research Featuring: Stefano Pluchino, MD, Ph.D. Clinical Professor of Regenerative Neuroimmunology & Honorary Consultant in Neurology, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge The Annual Petit Family Lecture and Visiting Professorship in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology is organized by the Departments of Neurology and Neuroscience. This inaugural event recognizes the Petit Family's contributions to supporting care and research for multiple sclerosis (MS). It features a distinguished active researcher or clinician whose work advances our understanding of MS progression, neurodegeneration, and the biology of repair in the field of clinical or translational neuroimmunology. Lecture Overview Recent advancements in stem cell biology offer promising potential for treating central nervous system diseases, particularly progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Neural stem/precursor cells (NSCs) have the ability to replace damaged cells and improve intercellular communication, which can enhance immune responses and promote healing. Studies in experimental models have uncovered mechanisms through which transplanted NSCs help combat chronic inflammation in the central nervous system, which have paved the way for innovative therapeutic strategies and are currently undergoing clinical trials.
